Question 756347: The question reads: Find the volume of a cone with a base radius of 5 and a height of 9 ft. Write the exact volume of terms of pie and be sure to include your answer. I do understand how to get volume in cubic units which would be 235.5 cubic units but it is saying the answer is 75 pi to the 3rd power. I don't understand could you give me some clarification.

----
Volume = (1/3)*h*(pi)r^2
----
V = (1/3)*9*(pi)5^2 =
---
V = (3*25)pi cu ft
----
V = 75 pi cu ft
